The notion that one major power can prevent another major power from getting critical technology has been proven wrong again and again, but the political demand to keep trying persists
Trade restrictions on selling chips to China means that China now MUST steal chipmaking technology from Western countries, start building their own fabs, and then ultimately start selling chips on the world market to compete with us.

There it goes! 🛰️👋 ADRAS-J is now in orbit, ready to start its mission of rendezvousing with an aging piece of space debris and observing it closely to determine whether it can be deorbited in future. Proud to be part of this innovative @astroscale_HQ mission studying ways to clean up space.

It's official. Jimmy Buffett's website reports that Jimmy has passed away. I hope that 5 o'clock somewhere Jimmy is having a cheeseburger in paradise.

Momentum has slowed a bit, but we’re already 40% there after just 7 weeks, which is fucking incredible. For a January surgery date, to stay on track, I need to reach as close to 50% as I can by the end of August. Thank you so much for boosting. 🚀 gofund.me/f39217a4

Imagine – you're a satellite. 🛰️ Navigating space is already a treacherous endeavor, but one of the biggest threats to your mission? #spacedebris. 💥 Will you make it across the orbital highways unscathed? See if you have what it takes to navigate the cosmic clutter by playing ORBITER by Astroscale – coming May 31st. 🌌🛰🕹 #ORBITERbyAstroscale #spacesustainability

Congrats to @astro_reid @AstroVicGlover @Astro_Jeremy & @Astro_Christina I wish you every success on this @NASAArtemis Hard to understand why crew selected w/ out gender equity. Past lunar missions were 100% male, so I guess this is progress. Next chance with Artemis III. #50%
